How to Disable the Pop-Up Blocker in IE8
Internet Explorer 8, also known as “IE8,” is a web browser that comes with its own pop-up blocker installed. When enabled, the IE8 pop-up blocker prevents windows, such as advertisements, from automatically opening in new browser windows. However, the IE8 pop-up blocker may also prevent pop-up windows that you want to see from appearing on the screen. You can manually disable the IE8 pop-up blocker whenever you wish.
